Warm Up

• Increase Muscle Temperature:

  • Increased speed of muscular contractions
  • Increased elasticity of muscles
  • Increased range of movement
  • Increased pliability of tendons
• Increased Heart Rate:

  • Increased gaseous exchange
  • Increased blood flow to muscles
  • Increased oxygen delivery to muscles
  • Increased removal of carbon dioxide
• Increased Breathing Rate:

  • Increased gaseous exchange
  • Increased blood temperature
• If we didn't do warm ups, injury wouldn't be prevented as muscles would be tight and sore meaning they would be more likely to tear or split
• Order of a warm up:

  • Pulse raiser
  • Mobility
  • Static stretches
  • Dynamic movement
  • Skill rehearsal
